The AFCO Racing Products 79-9-5-3 is a 79 Series monotube shock designed for demanding racing applications where consistent damping and durable construction are essential. Its steel body provides a strong foundation for competition use, while the black painted finish helps protect the exterior and delivers a clean, professional appearance. This shock is sold individually and is intended for installations requiring the specified 79 Series configuration.
The integrated C5-R3 valve provides the designated damping setup for this shock, supporting predictable suspension response throughout the vehicle’s operating range. The monotube design separates the working oil and gas with a floating piston, helping maintain consistent performance during repeated use and demanding track conditions. This configuration is well suited for race teams and builders looking for a purpose-built shock with a defined valve specification rather than a generic replacement unit.
The AFCO Racing Products 79-9-5-3 carries IMCA approval, making it an appropriate choice for eligible vehicles competing under applicable IMCA rules. Its compact body format can support race vehicle packaging requirements while maintaining the robust construction expected from AFCO suspension components. Use this shock as a direct component within a properly matched suspension system, and confirm mounting, travel, and vehicle compatibility before installation. With its steel monotube construction, C5-R3 valve, black finish, and IMCA-approved status, this AFCO shock is built to deliver dependable service in competitive motorsports environments.
